Complete Jewish Bible

³ But that same night the word of God came to Natan: ⁴ “Go, and tell David my servant that this is what Adonai says: ‘You are not to build me a house to live in, ⁵ because from the day I brought up Isra’el until today, I never lived in a house; rather, I’ve gone from tent to tent and from one tabernacle to another.
